A Kenya Airways flight from Nairobi to Heathrow has been intercepted by RAF fighters and diverted to Stansted Airport in London due to a potential security threat. The plane landed safely with Essex Police in attendance, and it has been escorted to a remote parking stand. The incident is now under the control of civilian authorities, but it is unclear if there is an ongoing threat or if passengers are still on board. Kenya Airways has confirmed that they received an alert of a potential security threat and took necessary precautions to ensure the safety of the crew and passengers.
